PLENTY OF OATS.
The market for oats continues weak, largely due to the fact that there are heavy offerings in Southland (writes the "Otago Daily Timee). There was a considerable carry-over at Bluff last year, and this quantity, with the new season's crop now coming forward, has had the effect of making merchants in the southern centre disinclined to hold any quantity of stocks. The consumptive demand from the Xorth leland ie strictly limited, and at luescnt there is an excess of offerings Shipping values are nominally 3/ a bushel f.o.b.s.i. for A Gartons, and 2/10 for B's. These prices are the equivalents of 2/2 and 2/ respectively on trucks at country sacks extra. Millers are operating to a very limited extent, and buying only lines particularly suited to their ntuirements.
